True. If the diameter of the afferent arterioles leading to the glomerulus increases due to vasodilation, which ultimately increases the net filtration pressure.

The filtration of blood occurs in the kidney, an excretory organ. The kidney is composed of numerous small units called nephrons, which is responsible for the blood filtration.

Glomerulus is part of nephron and the glomerular filtration occurs in the renal corpuscle of the kidney. This process is driven by hydrostatic and colloid osmotic pressure.

These pressures are collectively called net filtration pressure, which is influenced by the diameter of afferent arterioles.

If the arterioles constricts, net filtration pressure will decrease and if arterioles dilates, net filtration pressure will increase. This mechanism is regulated by neural, renal and hormonal regulation.

Rank the following levels of chromatin compaction in eukaryotes from the least compact to the most compact.
Scilla [17]

Answer:

a. Naked dna

f. nucleosome

e. solenoid

g. loop domain

d. chromatid

c. chromosomes

b. metaphase

Explanation:

The naked DNA consists of the DNA molecule not associated with proteins.

A nucleosome is an octamer of histone proteins (i.e., dimers of H2A, H2B, H3, H4) associated with DNA.

A solenoid is a chromatin fiber consisting of 30 nanometers (nm), it represents the secondary structure of the chromatin.

The chromatin fibers are organized into loops (300 nm) that represent the tertiary structure of the chromatin. These loops enable to package chromosome segments consisting of about 100 kilobases (kb).

The sister chromatids are two identical DNA-based structures that remain joined together by the centromere to form a single chromosome (700 nm).

You can tell tara that exposed newborns tend to <span>have lower Apgar scores. 

Analgesia will reduce pain in the labor, but the pain is causing the release of many hormones that will assist in labor. The absence of those hormones can make the baby have lower Apgar scores after labor.</span>
